1 meetingNovember 3, 2026 Town Council Meeting — Agenda Breakdown
Election night, and not at Town Hall. Both meetings are at the Denton Johnson Center again. The 6:30 workshop reviews the agreement for the 2027 ZORA! Festival, with handwritten edits that a note attributes to the festival's organizer, and hears reports from department heads. At 7:30 the Council tries again for a final vote on farmers markets in the C-3 commercial district, after the October 20 hearing was tabled.
Past
most recent firstOctober 20, 2026 Town Council Meeting — Agenda Breakdown
A short agenda, in a different building. Both meetings move to the Denton Johnson Center while early voting runs at Town Hall. The 6:30 workshop has one discussion item, "Legal and Administrative Planning," with nothing attached. At 7:30 the Council takes its final vote on allowing farmers markets in the C-3 commercial district, and picks one of four applicants to recommend for the Town's historic marker task force.
October 15, 2026 CRA Board Meeting — Recap
Directors pulled the amended bylaws off the consent agenda. Several said they oppose the new sentence requiring five of seven votes to fire the Executive Director. No vote was taken: the Board set a special workshop for October 28 at 6:30 PM on the bylaws, the Executive Director's evaluation and the Board's priorities. The sales package for the six CRA-built homes was also pulled and discussed. Directors agreed to finish the two homes underway and to consider rebidding the other four. No vote was taken on that either.
October 6, 2026 Town Council Meeting — Recap
The fee waiver for the CRA's four homes never came up for a vote. It was removed from the agenda at the start of the meeting, and the Town's new counsel later said she is setting up a meeting with the CRA's attorney about it. The Council unanimously ordered staff and counsel to report within 14 business days on how water and sewer bills have been calculated, after the sponsor declined to extend the deadline. Farmers markets in the C-3 commercial district passed their first reading, also unanimously. The second reading is October 20, which the Deputy Town Clerk said will be held at the Denton Johnson Center.
September 21, 2026 Town Council Second Budget Hearing — Agenda Breakdown
Tonight the Council makes next year's budget and tax rate final. The rate stays at 7.2938 mills, the same as every year since at least 2013. The budget worksheets and salary schedule are the same pages the Council saw at the first hearing on September 9; only the page numbers changed. What is new is a 52-page budget book. It is the first document in this year's hearing packets to show the CRA's budget, and that CRA page is the version from before the CRA board's September 17 vote: it still counts the $892,083 the board took out of its own budget. The Town's side of the same money has not changed: the Town still budgets $232,136 for its CRA payment.
September 17, 2026 CRA Board Meeting — Recap
A walk-on resolution to fire Executive Director Michael Johnson without cause failed 3–4 on a roll call. It was not in the posted packet, and citizen participation had already closed. The Board adopted its budget 6–1 after removing the $892,083.46 the budget listed as owed by the Town. Its General Counsel had told directors that adopting the budget with that line in it would acknowledge the debt. The bylaws and the policy manual were both tabled.
September 15, 2026 Town Council Meeting — Recap
Neither public hearing was opened. The rental-homes ordinance was tabled after the Town's attorney told the Council that a 2023 state law reserves the regulation of residential rentals to the state, and that the draft could not lawfully be enacted as written. The farmers-market ordinance was tabled too, because members wanted a printed zoning map first. The night's only two resolutions were walk-on items that never appeared in the posted packet: a request for a federal audit of the Town's post office, and an emergency resolution hiring a new law firm for six months at $10,000 a month.
